Introduction	Inventaris van de goederen bevonden in den boedel van Selt en Gillis Verbrugge. No Postscript, no date, May 1662.
Commentary	The goods in this insolvent inventory belonged to Selt and Gillis Verbrugge, who were perhaps brothers. Gillis Verbrugge may be identical with the individual of that name who was one of the creditors of Jan de Clerck, insolvent merchant in Moscow, in 1650 (Eric Wijnroks, Handel tussen Rusland en de Nederlanden, 1560-1640, p. 374). He is also likely to be identical with the merchant and freighter Gillis Jansz. Verbrugge who freighted ships to New Netherlands between 1646 and 1650. In 1647, he sailed to Fort Orange as upper commissary on de Valckenier with his nephew Govert Loockemans, to hunt for beavers. The last ship he freighted was on 12 March 1650 (Jaarboek C.B.G., 1982, p. 185).
